I may post again if my thoughts or memories become clearer, but for now, this whole "where did I get my fetish/kink?" has always fascinated me and I enjoy discussing it. This certainly applies to most of my kinks which are shared by many on Zity, particularly enemas, rubber, D/s, (moderate) bondage and anal play. But it's especially curious and interesting to me because of my other kink which even here seems to be extremely unusual. This particular discussion thread also brings up the question of why those kinks would predominate for me but not manifest as a real MedFet interest. Certainly anal and enemas could be closely intertwined as part of MedFet, but I enjoy those intensely without having any real arousal or serious desire for other aspects of MF that others here adore. Another issue tangential to MF could be rubber, perhaps my biggest kink, because of medical exposure to rubber products like gloves and catheters in normal health care settings. But again, though intensely interested and aroused by rubber, anal play and enemas, they're distinct from an overall MedFet kink for me. Now if I had a woman partner who loved MF and wanted to indulge in it one way or the other, I'd be delighted to play with her, exam or be examined, and I'd enjoy it, but not to the extent a MF lover might. I'd be especially waiting for the parts that involved rubber and anuses.
To get to the potential origins portion of this thread, I too, like some others here, had significant congenital defects and medical conditions requiring far more exposure to doctors, nurses, health care and procedures than most average kids. My memory for a lot of it is not good (repression?), but I have distinct brief memories of multiple facial surgeries and anesthesia, specialist eye doctor and plastic surgeon and orthodontic appointments. There were also undoubtedly many forgotten or completely repressed memories of much more, including treatment for apparently life-threatening hydrocephalus after birth and initial cleft-reconstructions before age 2. I can also toss in my mom being a nurse who accompanied me to all my surgeries and other appointments, and who may have given me a few enemas from the ever-present amber bag in her bathroom. And I knew well and revered her multiple surgeon employers at her office. Other than not liking shots or post-op recoveries, I was never worried or afraid of seeing all my different doctors including the regular pediatrician. Yet with all those experiences, I don't have a real MedFet kink, but do have intensely powerful kinks for rubber, anal, enemas, etc. As I said, writing about this is fascinating for several reasons, not the least of which is that it may spring some vague or lost memories to the fore for me, so another post may appear about this.
